FIRST RECORD YOU EVER BOUGHT?
"Deep Purple's 'In Rock'. It's still one of my favourite albums. Those riffs
still get me going - I love 'em. I can't play them, though, and I can't do
(Purple's singer) Ian Gillan's Screams. I just sit there and listen."
LAST RECORD YOU BOUGHT?
"I haven't bought anything in a long time, but probably the last thing I got was
Fugazi's 'Red Medicine'. It's a hell of an album. But I usually try to get all
my albums for free off our record company!"
RECORD YOU'D PLAY BEFORE A NIGHT OUT ON THE RAZZ?
"Minor Threat. The album with 21 songs on it, all the good songs. It gets
you hypo: "Yeah let's go!"
RECORD YOU'D PLAY AFTER A NIGHT OUT ON THE RAZZ?
"Some Led Zepplin. Anything acustic by Led Zepplin. Sit there and skip all the
rocking songs. There's some cool stuff on 'Led Zepplin III' - that's the one I
listen to a lot."
WORST RECORD YOU OWN?
"The first White Zombie album. I like White Zombie, but I don't like that first
album at all."
THREE RECORDS YOU'D GIVE FIVE K'S TO?
"Black Sabbath's 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'. It's just got the heaviest riffs.
Even when you listen to it now, it still sounds heavy. All the bands that were
heavy back then in the early 70's sound like plain rock music, except for Black
Sabbath. And Led Zepplin's frist album too, because it's got all the rocking
songs on it. And Shellac 'At Action Park'. I really like the intestity of it -
it's so different.
FAVOURITE RECORD SLEEVE?
"That Shellac album again. I really like how simple and stupid it is."
RECORD YOU'D LOVE TO PLAY ON?
"Anyone whose songs don't involve complex chords!"
RECORD YOU WOULD USE TO SEDUCE A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
"It depends where I meet them, and it also depends whether they're drunk or not!
If I met them just outside a house or something and they're straight, I'd put
Jeff Buckly on - his album 'Grace'. And if I met them when they were really
pissed, at some rock 'n' roll concert, I'd put on Minor Threat.
And then she'd just be so hypo, she'd do anything! It's the album for all
occasions."
FUNNIEST RECORD YOU'VE EVER HEARD?
"'The Jearky Boys' The first one. It's unreal."
RECORD YOU WOULD PUT ON TO ANNOY THE NEIGHBOURS?
"That's Minor Threat as well. What if they were Minor Threat fans? F**k, then
Led Zepplin."
RECORD THAT ALWAYS MAKES YOU HAPPY?
"Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath records. They're always great to listen to."
YOU MOST HATED RECORD?
"Anything by Michael Jackson. No actually that's not my most hated record. It's
stuff by Donovan ('60's English folk troubadour). I don't know the names, but
Mum listens to him and I hate it!"
